How to Retrieve Missing Files in adobe Catalog

Report · Dec 25, 2023

Hi, I was a photo student and got set up with an external hard drive with my catalog on it. Since the school year had ended I continued to transfer any pictures I was taking off my SD cards into my catalog and edit them in my Adobe Lightroom Classic catalog. One of these times I believe I overloaded the system and unproperly closed out the program due to being in a time rush. (Very dumb I know) Know when I try and open my catalog It says all my files are missing even on all of my backups. I am a novice when it comes to this and would appreciate any insight on how to fix this or if it's possible to recover my pictures.

To restore "Missing" photos, you would best read the information in these links-

MISSING FILES & FOLDERS (Lightroom Queen)

MISSING FILES AND FOLDERS-(Computer Darkroom)

MISSING FILES & FOLDERS (Adobe link)

DO NOT TRY TO RE-IMPORT ANY PHOTOS.
